Arm's Reach Mini Classic Co-Sleeper Bassinet - Toffee

First off, I know this is classified as a "mini" bassinett, but it is actually what I expected and even a little larger than the previous one we used. It sets up like a pack and play and just pops open easily. There are instructions actually on the product itself, too in case they get lost. I am very excited to use this type of bassinett this time because stretching to help soothe my last two or keep the paci in the mouth was sometimes uncomfortable. I think this will be a much easier system to use. I have heard a great deal of positive feedback.

This product worked just great. However, the baby mostly slept in our bed. But in the rare occasion the baby would sleep by himself, it was nice to have the extra room in the bed!

This is a must have at our house. Used it with our first child, and now our second who is 2 1/2 weeks old now. She sleeps great in it, and its easy for me to reach over and pick her up if I need to. My baby has some reflux and my pediatrician recommended that she sleep on a little bit of an incline. I simply removed one set of the extensions at the foot end of the bed so that her head is slightly higher than her feet. (And yes, its still very sturdy) I did have to pull and tug quite a bit to get the sides to lock into place, but once it's locked it's very sturdy.

my daughter slept in the cosleeper for 7 mo (at which point she started to pull herself up, and i was very sad to have to take her out). it is much more useful than a normal bassinet because it holds the baby up to 23 lbs (rather than the typical bassinet which holds only 15). it is a nice small size so it doesnt take up too much room in the bedroom. it has wheels for easy mobility to take it thru the house if you want. and the storage underneath is very convenient. i do recommend buying an extra sheet. i am now expected my 2nd child, and will be pulling the cosleeper out of the basement storage and happily using it again

My baby did not sleep in a bassinet, crib, or anything other than sleeping on me for the first month. Then we decided to get this co sleeper and she immediately slept on her own. She slept in it until she could sit up. Awesome!!

We used this until my daughter learned to sit up, and it was a life saver. It made middle of the night feedings so much easier and allowed me to be close to my daughter without having her in bed. I would very often unclip it from my bed and wheel it into the living room so she could nap while I cleaned. The product was sturdy, well made, and easy to use and clean. I recommend this to everyone who is pregnant.

Works great as a bassinet or travel crib. Used it when we traveled a lot. Easy to put together and easy to maneuver.

Wish I had had this with my first rather than only with my 4th child! It fits perfectly right up next to the bed, and have been using it since coming home from the hospital 7 weeks ago. It is a safe place to set the baby while your sleeping, and easy to get the baby out of for nursing. My husband works super early, so this was a way that I could get to the baby without waking him up, post c-section. It really has been a much better alternative than the pack'n'play with bassinet that we had used with the other kids. Would highly recommend it! In addition, had the lower compartment to store baby clothes/supplies.

Only disadvantages of it were trying to get out of bed was a little more tricky since it takes up about half of the side of the bed, and the other being that the bottom compartment has no rigidity, its just fabric, meaning that anything stored in there slopes down towards the center, and if you have a 2 year old, the compartment is their new favorite hiding spot which also stretches out the fabric in the lower compartment. We had to use small plastic bins so that we could store baby clothes below the compartment.

All in all, a great product, and extremely useful!

I was really thinking this would be perfect for me as a nursing mom recovering from c section. Reasons it didnt work for us:
adding the leg extensions made it fall to the side way to easy. And I felt like my blanket could easily end up in with the baby. My baby girl didnt sleep in it at all. We just returned and got the kolcraft incline bassinet and she is sleeping wonderfully in it. I only wish I had it from the beginning

I really like the co-sleeper. Our bedrooms are really small, and the size of this is great for next to our bed. My son sleeps in it and is 4 months old now. It has worked out very well. It was a little difficult to put the one side down, but I think that could be because of how it was put together (thanks hubby! haha). Definitely would recommend it.
